Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Novell GroupWise is collaboration software available for a number of platforms, including Linux and Microsoft Windows. GroupWise includes an Internet Agent process for mail transfer.
The Internet Agent is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. Specifically, this issue stems from a boundary-condition error that occurs when handling email addresses via SMTP.
